Abstract
Systems and methods are described for implants with composite coatings to promote tissue in-growth and/or on-growth. An implant includes: a substrate; a structured surface formed on at least a portion of the substrate; and a biocompatible coating deposited on at least a fraction of the structured surface. The systems and methods provide advantages in that the implant has good biocompatibility while the biocompatible coating has good strength.
Claims8

- a substrate;
- a structured surface formed on at least a portion of said substrate;
- and
- a biocompatible coating deposited on at least a fraction of said structured surface.
-18. (canceled)
A composition for an implant, comprising:
- a biocompatible material coated on a structured surface defined by a substrate.
-36. (canceled)
An implant, comprising:
- a substrate;
- a structured surface formed on a portion of said substrate;
- and
- a biocompatible coating deposited on at least a fraction of said structured surface,
- wherein said portion of said substrate is to be fixed with tissue in-growth and/or on-growth for stability.
-54. (canceled)
A method of forming a composite coating, comprising:
- depositing a biocompatible coating on a structured surface that composes at least a portion of a surface area of a substrate.
